I support Sco Openserver during field work and need an image I can
install and play with on an IDE drive. All the images that I have are
taken from SCSI drives and no use to me as I haven't got a SCSI drive

A 30 day trial version is all I need just to help me get a feel for
the OS and SCOadmin etc...

Thanks


PS I have broadband and would be able to download a couple of ISO
images no problem

I may have solution for the problem.
Your provided email is not reachable, so could
you send to me, or leave here, any valid contact address.

It used to be available from the Sco website until it was withdrawn

Not correct. There used to be free personal-use-only licenses for OSR 5,
but the CD images were never available for downloading.

Open Server 5.0.5

My first install of OSR5.0.5 was at the end of September (1998) for a
customer upgrading from a Xenix system.
<end of text>

Looks to me like OSR5 means OpenServer Release 5 ?? and I'm sure I
seen the iso images myself on the Caldera FTP site or one of the
mirrors

OSR 5 means any OpenServer Release 5.0.0, 5.0.2, 5.0.4, 5.0.5, 5.0.6, or
5.0.7.

I'm getting a bit tired of repeating myself, but: ISO images were NEVER on
any Caldera site for any one of those releases.

Yep, OSR5 = SCO Openserver 5.0.x.

I don't know where you were looking, but I have _never_ seen an ISO of
OSR5 on SCO/Caldera's FTP sites or web-piles.

Well I have seen an ISO image of Openserver 5.x
whilst browsing the FTP site and the mirror sites directory by
directory.
Exactly where it was I can't remember but I would say I didn't get to
it whilst looking for OSR5 I was looking for FreeBSD at the time
Obviously it's not there now and I can't prove it, I didn't download
at the time because I only had a 56k modem.

I know what I saw!

Your not repeating yourself your second statement is totally different
from your first statement

>| >| >Openserver 5 has never been available for download.

and

>ISO images were NEVER on
>any Caldera site for any one of those releases.

are two different statements
